An oval pit, circa 35m long by 25m wide, is visible as an earthwork on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The visible earthwork corresponds with a pit feature depicted in this location on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map. It is interpreted as a post-medieval or early to mid-19th century extractive pit which had likely passed out of use by the late 19th century.
